Wait a minute, you don’t think you have any stories to tell? Don’t believe it… This book will prompt you with many ideas that will truly bring out those hidden stories containing memories of your life.

Can you remember a pet you once had which you don’t have any more?

Take us to school with you during one of your favorite years in school

Can you remember a time when you got into trouble for something you had already been told not to do?

Can you remember a trip that you would not want to have to take again?

Can you remember a night your parents never found out about?

Can you remember a time when you got sick at a very inconvenient moment?

Can you remember a birthday or a holiday you would like (or not like) to live over again?

Can you remember a time when you got lost? Or separated from your companion(s)?
